New Orleans Saints tailback Chris Ivory still not feeling 100 percent /Updated 12/27/2010
 

New Orleans Saints tailback Chris Ivory said his hamstring injury is still bothering him a little bit, but he still thinks he will be ready to play Monday against the Atlanta Falcons.
Ivory said he was still feeling "a little grab" in the hamstring while he practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
"I can't really open up like I would like to," said Ivory, who suffered the injury against St. Louis in Week 14, then missed last week's game at Baltimore. "So I'm not full speed yet. I'd say about 90, 95 percent. So I've kind of got to pace myself at what speed I go in practice, so that I will be ready for Monday. ...

aaahhahhahhahhahh, oh hes gonna play alright i think he showcases his talents. heard that bait drop before.

Any update here.

We need him to win this week. If not 100%, maybe we start with CI and let PT take the later snaps

I think he'll play....

I just don't understand the hamstring pull... When I played soccer, if you pulled that, you just put some flexall on it and you were good to go.

And for the record, NEVER put that stuff on your balls.

Thanks, I was about an 8th of an inch from making a big mistake.

Did you mistake it for Preperation H?:doh:

Once again, in 5 years of Payton's regime, he's never played the injury mind games with anyone.

If a player is doubtful or a game day decision, there a 99% chance Payton sits him.

Players probably hate it on gameday, but they respect it afterwards.

CI better put that surgical glove on, reach as far up his semi-colon as possible and find the other percent to get to 100%, cuz he don't want me doin it!

Funny, but like someone has to tell you to not put it on your balls! (heh)

I saw him as an item in the preseason, and I'm glad he got to make a name for himself. I think it was the last preseason game where he made this awesome run, down the field, across the field, then angled into the end-zone, or near it.

I kind of wish they'd kept Arrington too, a wide receiver. But they've got so many good ones--wonder what happened to him.

Arrington is still with the team bro, the coaching staff were really impressed with how he played in preseason. I think hes been active for some games but just hasn't played due to our depth of Pro Bowl WR's.

I don't want to sound negative, But Ivory - This is a must win game, if your 95 percent its still better than some people's 100. Get your ass out there and run over the defenders like you do every week!!

Bump.

Bump.

Why bump if there's no update?

The updates are in the first post....

And now im bumping again because i just updated it again with a video update as well.

That is all I needed to know :bng:

OH....OK.... Nevermind

Any update on whether Shanle's gonna play?

He'll be inactive.

Payton never has played game-day decision guys so I don't see that changing.

Oh well, lets hope he's ready for the Bucs.

He is and so is Clark!

Missed him tonight

Ivory will be needed most in the Post-season
I say save him.. probably take a few snaps in the Buc's game, be light with it and take him out quickly.
